Elder Thomas and His Dad

Elder Thomas  and his dad Brother Thomas were companions for 3 days until we got back home to have Willy released.  It was fun to watch them love each other and talk about things.  Willy was released as a missionary 7 pm. 

Little and Big Brother

Willy was shocked at how tall Payton had got while he was gone.  Payton is the youngest and the tallest at this point. 

Brothers reunited

Noah was so excited to have his Big Brother back home.  Love having all three boys together again.

Reunited Family

Happy Day!!!  Little bit of a stressful morning.  We had an appointment to pick Elder Thomas up anytime after 8.  JoLynn thought 8:01am would be a good time.  Much to her dismay, there is a difference between Mission office and Mission Home.  We were to pick up Willy at the Mission home, but the last email we had received did not give us that info and not knowing the difference, we sat at the office for a long time, no Willy.  After many tears, pacing the parking lot we finally got hold of some missionaries that got us in contact with the Mission President.  We finally made a connection and Willy was soon going to be close to his mom....When saw each other, Payton jumped in front of mom and hugged his brother first, mom just cried and was so happy to see her son again.  Dad and Noah patiently waited for their hugs.  Willy's first words were, boy my brothers grew!  So happy to see Elder Thomas!!!  Now the journey begins to head home to Idaho.
